The Dissident priests dispute Temple doctrine. They challenge the purity and divinity of the Tribunal, suggesting their powers are sorcerous, not divine. They also condemn the arbitrary power of the Ordinators, and accuse the Temple hierarchy of self-interest and corruption. The Dissident Priests are outlawed and persecuted by the Temple.

The Dissident priests dispute Temple doctrine, and are outlawed and persecuted by the Temple. They falsely deny the divinity of the Tribunal.

I believe our differences with most of the Temple's hierarchy can be resolved, now that the persecution of Dissident priests is ended. Certainly the most difficult conflict -- the denial of the Nerevarine prophecies -- is no longer an issue, now that you have been accepted as Hortator and Nerevarine.

A significant part of the Temple hierarchy might be more inclined to accept and tolerate differences of opinion in dogma. But other parts of the Temple, in particular, the Ordinators under Berel Sala, claim that the threat from Red Mountain and Dagoth Ur can only be resisted with a unified, resolute faith. The people are afraid, so they support the hard line. But if we can show ourselves able to confront Dagoth Ur more effectively than the Ordinators, the Temple and the people will support us.

Now that Lord Vivec has proclaimed an end to the persecution of the Dissident priests, perhaps we can hope for reconciliation with the Temple.

We are fiercely loyal to the Temple's ancient traditions. But we are troubled that the ultimate source of the Tribunal's divinity might be the same as the source of Dagoth Ur's evil power. Dagoth Ur's power seems to wax as the Tribunal's power wanes. Read 'The Progress of Truth' and other documents of the Apographa in our library, and you'll see why we are uneasy.

Thanks to you, Vivec has proclaimed an end to the persecution of the Dissident priests. Now we must be patient. It will take time to resolve our conflicts with the Temple hierarchy. Change can only come with mutual trust, and with a renewal of our common purpose.

The Dissident priests dispute Temple doctrine, and are outlawed and persecuted by the Temple. Ordinators arrest and imprison heretics, and the Empire cannot interfere. 'Progress of Truth' lists their beliefs. In brief, they challenge the purity and divinity of the Tribunal, suggesting their powers are sorcerous, not divine, and perhaps akin to the powers of Dagoth Ur. They also condemn the arbitrary power of the Ordinators, and accuse the Temple hierarchy of self-interest and corruption.

Did you hear they stuck that Dissident Priests guy Malur Omayn in the Ministry of Truth? I guess the Temple Priests and Ordinators figure they can straighten him out in there. I'll bet they can.

I know there's been a lot of talk about it for a long time, but now the Temple Priests and Ordinators are really going after heretics, especially Dissident Priests.
